Multiband optical variability on diverse timescales of the blazar Ton 599 from 2011 to 2023

O. Vince, C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata +72

(Shortened)Context: We analyze the optical variability of the FSRQ Ton 599 using BVRI photometry from the WEBT collaboration (2011-2023), complemented by photometric and spectrosco…

Multi-wavelength picture of the misaligned BL Lac object 3C 371

J. Otero-Santos, C. M. Raiteri, A. Tramacere +52

The BL Lac object 3C 371 is one of the targets that are regularly monitored by the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (WEBT) Collaboration to study blazar variability on both short and l…

A wiggling filamentary jet at the origin of the blazar multi-wavelength behaviour

C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata, M. I. Carnerero +96

Blazars are beamed active galactic nuclei known for their strong multi-wavelength variability on timescales from years down to minutes. We aim to investigate the suitability of the…

Optical variability of the blazar 3C 371: from minute to year timescales

J. Otero-Santos, C. M. Raiteri, J. A. Acosta-Pulido +41

The BL Lac object 3C 371 has been observed by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (\textit{TESS}) for approximately a year, between July 2019 and July 2020, with an unmatched…

The variability patterns of the TeV blazar PG 1553+113 from a decade of MAGIC and multi-band observations

MAGIC Collaboration, H. Abe, S. Abe +264

PG 1553+113 is one of the few blazars with a convincing quasi-periodic emission in the gamma-ray band. The source is also a very high-energy (VHE; >100 GeV) gamma-ray emitter. To b…
